  1. R1T Ride Quality Harsh on Bumpy Surfaces

    Good stuff. I was so damn wordy on my review, that I didn’t go into as much detail as I could have. I actually kind of like the yoke at this point, but don’t like the horn situation. While I do like the auto present and auto close doors, I agree with you. I also feel like I fight with them a...

  2. R1T Ride Quality Harsh on Bumpy Surfaces

    The support here has been awesome. This is a great community of car drivers. I have really enjoyed my time here and my time with my Rivian. That said, I made the difficult decision to bail on my R1T and go back to my Model X Plaid. I suspect there is a very small subset of people that are...

  3. R1T Ride Quality Harsh on Bumpy Surfaces

    I mostly agree. I think if you are going from another truck to a Rivian, the R1T performs really well. In most surfaces, I think it’s smooth and fun to drive. But, in some situations, there’s a fair amount of bump and roll, in my opinion.

  4. R1T Ride Quality Harsh on Bumpy Surfaces

    I am somewhat surprised to hear a lot of people say that they R1T drives better than their model X. I was in my model X plaid for about six months, and there’s no question that in my opinion, it drove much quicker, more nimble, and smoother than the R1T. Not that the R1T is not amazing for its...

  5. R1T Ride Quality Harsh on Bumpy Surfaces

    Update for those interested: drive mode makes a huge difference. Been driving around and all purpose and even a little bit of snow mode and the car is flat out fun to drive. I am still curious how other tires/wheels would make a difference, and may invest in something different in the future...

  6. R1T Ride Quality Harsh on Bumpy Surfaces

    As the OP, I will tell you I do not think there are issues with it feeling “loose and clunky“. Obviously, the easiest way to get answers for myself, without hassling everyone here, would be for me to drive the vehicle in various driving modes. The reason I started this thread was because I was...

  7. R1T Ride Quality Harsh on Bumpy Surfaces

    I had the MX Plaid. Just sold it. It was incredibly smooth.

    Me or @Goose?

    St. Louis is similar to Chicago (I grew up in Chicago and now live in St. Louis). Given your experience, would you buy again?

  10. R1T Ride Quality Harsh on Bumpy Surfaces

    This is great feedback. I am torn. I am still in my 7 day window. It would be way easier to part ways now than later. On one hand, I can test the AP/Soft setting to see if I like it. But, what I am trying to avoid is a scenario in which I decide it's close to likable and I therefore wait for it...

  11. Sport Mode 2.0 is much more responsive after 2022.47.0 software update!

    Interesting. If they are willing to take the car back within 7 days, I wonder if they'd be willing to take the tires/wheels back in the first week?!?

  12. Details on what each driving modes actually do?

    Appreciate your feedback. I actually had it in Sport/Soft when I noticed the harsh bumps. That said, I suspect All-Purpose would have been smoother on the same driving surface. I haven't the car long enough to really make a lot of comparisons, which is why I am here asking around. In any case...

  13. R1T Ride Quality Harsh on Bumpy Surfaces

    Hey, @Goose, for someone who is not totally up to date on this forum, can you give me some context to your comment? Are you in agreement with the ride quality issues I cited? BTW, there is absolutely no reason for anyone to bash anyone else in forums like this. We are all pretty fortunate to...

    2022 Plaid

  15. Sport Mode 2.0 is much more responsive after 2022.47.0 software update!

    Following this closely. I apologize for posting my concern in several threads, but this one seems to address my concerns the best. I have 22" tires (mistake?) and have noticed that bumpy roads at low speeds are pretty harsh in sport mode - very bumpy. You can really feel it. I just started...

  16. What surprised you - preferably in a good way?

    Have you found the suspension in all-purpose mode to be noticeably smoother than in sport mode? I have found the car to be pretty harsh on bumps in sport mode.

  17. Details on what each driving modes actually do?

    Can anyone comment in the suspension in Sport vs. All Purpose? I have had the car for a few days. I find the ride very, very bumpy on uneven surfaces at low speeds when driving in Sport mode. I have not played with All Purpose enough yet to know if the ride quality is any smoother.

  18. R1T Ride Quality Harsh on Bumpy Surfaces

    Thanks, @DaveA. What bothers you about the R1T? The noise? The ride? Both? Like you said, at speed, it feels awesome. On bumps, it's crazy. My wife was wearing a winter coat in the car last night. At really low speed in a parking lot, every bump and uneven spot throw her around so much that I...

  19. R1T Ride Quality Harsh on Bumpy Surfaces

    What were you driving right before the R1T? I suppose those driving ICE trucks find it smooth. I was driving a Tesla Model X, which is about as smooth as they come. So, for me, the change is harsh.

  20. R1T Ride Quality Harsh on Bumpy Surfaces

    There is a huge thread on the R1S vs. the R1T, but rather than poring through all 8 pages to find R1T specific feedback, I thought I'd give the R1T its own thread. I just took delivery of an R1T after about a two year wait. I am still forming my (good and bad) first impressions. The most...
